Vingenzo’s – Woodstock, GA
For the last couple of years, I have seen several raves about Vingenzo’s, in Woodstock. The gist of all of them was that it was definitely worth the trip OTP (outside the perimeter). When Friday night rolled around and we had no plans, I made a reso via Open Table and we made the thirty […]
The Optimist – Atlanta, GA
For the last couple of months, a lot of the buzz around Atlanta has been about the opening of the Optimist. One of my friends and I were talking on the phone and he was telling me that had gone for dinner with his family on the previous Saturday night and had to wait for […]

St Mary’s Seafood and More – St. Mary’s, GA
Heading back to the JAX airport, on the same trip that took me to Gold House Restaurant in Nahunta, we needed to grab some dinner and, being that close to the beach, seafood was requested. My navigator was searching for restaurants on his cell and up popped St. Mary’s Seafood and More in St. Mary’s, […]
